Bead Lock Wheel Discussion

[Holaday07 4.7]

Beadlocks have a couple of flaws, tough to balance, leak, and there is some maitinance that goes along with them. I dont ever go down to single digits in my tires, but I think the Staun Internal Beadlocks would be a great option for the Commander. If it is the look there are a lot of companies that do the Street Lock or Faux Beadlock rings. I like them, and would love to get a set of the Walkwer Evans wheels, but its hard to justify the cost.

I've been running steel Bassett (think dirt track racing) beadlocks on my YJ for a few months. Aside from a couple of light scratches and a small ding in the lock ring they are good. I got them new for $110 each and that included shipping. There are some pictures in the Wrangler, YJ, TJ thread area. Might be limited on a good offset for the Commanders though. Also the 15" limit might not clear the caliper.

Here is the link. Wheels are at the bottom.

Tad bit out of my price range, but I love the way they look.

Nice wheels but way out of my price range right now.

Hahah same here, thats why I was thinking the Staun Internal Beadlocking system would work great. Holds the tire on the bead, no new wheel needs to be purchased.

still a bit high, but better than stranded. I think I will just stick with the wheels I am currently scratching up, and see whats out there when they can't be cleaned anymore.

Now that looks cool, how good is that system really? Never heard of it or of any one that has used it.

Alot of competition guys run them, plus you can run a tire thats flat if needed just to get off a trail. Fourwheeler did a write up on them, Ill try and find the link.
